One thing we are passionate about is building and educating community on the importance of accessibility and care for disabled and neurodivergent members of our society. That’s exactly what we do with our Oliver McGowan Training. We had another fantastic Tier 2 training day last week, this time in Basingstoke, led by our senior Learning Disability Expert Hugo Boss Patteson-Knight .

About 25 people of different ages are seated around three round tables covered in white cloths, with water bottles, glasses and mugs on top. Everyone is turned towards the camera, most of them smiling. In the front of the frame, Hugo - a man with short dark hair and a beard, wearing a cream short sleeved pinstripe shirt, black trousers and black trainers, sits in a manual wheelchair with his hands clasped, smiling.

Caitlin Quinn, a white woman with dark brown hair - wearing reading glasses and a white shirt, sits on a black chair. The wall behind her is white. On the top of the screen there is a black box with white font where it says: "Real-World Examples to Make Accessibility a Reality"
At the bottom of the screen captions appear:

"Can you read this? What about this? Hopefully much easier, how about… So that's not so bad. But what about. Now? In that bright, bright light, it's a lot harder to read. that was an example of how color contrast can impact readability and also how situational changes can impact readability. And this is a huge part of accessibility why it is for everybody. Now think about the last social media post that you made. How was the color contrast? How would your brand colors work together? Uh, is it visible in bright sunlight? Can people who are deaf or hard of hearing read the captions? Think about the 1 in 12 men who are colorblind and don't lose your audience to inaccessibility".

A few people in the back rows wave or hold up their hands, and one person rests their chin on their hand with a grin. The room, the hanging bulbs, the windows and the training materials on the front table are in view.

We all have different brains - there is no wrong or right. An accessible world means that anyone can access it - regardless of the way their brain works.

Heike, a white man with brown hair and a brown beard stands in front of a screen giving a presentation. He is wearing a grey suit jacket, with a grey sweater underneath. He has a lapel around his neck and is using his hands (one of which holds a remote) to gesture. There is a black box with white text in the lower third of the video frame. It says "POV: we all have a different brain". Heike says:
"Of everybody here we have all a different brain. However, if you then have a look, you have neurotypical, neurodivergent. Neurodivergent just means a difference from the standard"

There are so many ways to think about reaching an audience. Being “audience first” means considering that some people cannot easily hear, see or navigate your content.

Considering things like;
-video and image descriptions
-colour contrast
-large enough text for captions
-easy to read fonts
-clear language
-and a straight forward website…
could make all the difference!

Caitlin will share more insights into what accessibility can look like for businesses during her weekly Office Hours live on LinkedIn every Tuesday morning at 10am.

"If someone can't see your image. If someone can't hear your video. If someone can't navigate your website. Or read your caption. You haven't reached them. You are not audience first for them."

These captions appear at the bottom of the video.

At the end of the video, the screen changes to a coral pink background with the Good Access logo in blue, orange and black on it. Underneath is written "Driving success through accessibility."

Good Access is proud to see our Senior Learning Disability Manager Hugo featured on the Doc Diaries podcast, alongside Jona. In this conversation, with host Krishnendu they share what healthcare professionals can learn from lived experience of autism and learning disability. They cover common misconceptions, how these shape people's experience of care, and how listening can help build healthcare that is more understanding and accessible.

Our Good Access Calendar for October 2026 brings together practical events, expert insights and real-world conversations to help decision makers turn accessibility into meaningful action.

This time of year brings a change of pace. As organisations move into the final stretch of the year, it's a time to review priorities, budgets and strategies for 2027.

At Good Access, we believe accessibility should be part of those decisions: helping leaders build stronger strategies, remove barriers, improve experiences and create organisations that work better for everyone.

Whatever your organisation's size, sector or stage in its accessibility journey, there's something for you.

Here's a link to the calendar: https://zurl.co/mA5xG

Did you know that the colour contrast in your branding can be a huge barrier for people who might otherwise engage with your brand?

Video description:
Caitlin Quinn, a white woman with dark curly hair stands in front of a screen, giving a presentation. She is wearing a grey vest over a green shirt and glasses. In the middle of the screen there is a white box with black writing that says:
"Did you know that 1 in 12 men are colour blind and might not see your branding?"

Caitlin uses her hands to gesture while she is talking. She says;

"So you should know what of your brand. Colours can be used together to meet accessibility requirements to meet contrast specs. That's something that can just be built in. So you always know this colour works with this colour. Perfect."
